  14. Find 5 examples of Biscayne Bay plants and their chemical composition:
    o Coconut Palm- Cocos nucifera- P-HYDROXY- BENZOIC-ACID; FERULIC-ACID; GABA
    o Aloe Vera- Aloe barbadensis- ALOE-EMODIN; ANTHRAQUINONES; CINNAMIC-ACID; COUMARIN
    o Brazilian Pepper- Schinus terebinthifolius- KAEMPFEROL; MYRICETIN; QUERCETIN
    o Hyacinth Orchid- Dipodium punctatum- D-GLUCOSE; D-MANNOSE; GLUCOMANNAN; MUCILAGE
    o Mango- Mangifera indica- ALPHA-PINENE; GABA; GALLIC-ACID; GERANIOL

    Recognize poisonous plants in Florida and components
    o Wild Balsam Apple- Echinopepon wrightii- Elaterium; prophetin; ecballin
    • Elaterium is an energetic hydragogue cathartic; it causes vomiting, griping pain, and profuse diarrhea
    o Poison Hemlock- Conium maculatum- CAFFEIC-ACID; CHLOROGENIC-ACID; DIOSMIN
    • Coniine causes tremors, ataxia, and seizures salivation, mydriasis, and diaphoresis. In severe cases, acetylcholine (nicotinic) receptor antagonism develops. This leads to bradycardia, ascending paralysis, and CNS depression (coma). Death is typically from respiratory failure.
    o Avocado- Persea Americana-ANETHOLE; CAFFEIC-ACID; CHLOROGENIC-ACID
    • This is Hepatotoxic meaning it can cause chemical-driven liver damage.

    Play – A behavior which occurs between two or more animals, as a form of entertainment and enjoyment.
    Aggressive – This behavior can become evident in animals during their mating season, where they become territorial and possessive of their mate against other beings.
    Courtship – behavior an animal undergoes to reproduce and continue its race. Courtship can be stimulated by chemical odors, auditory communication such as songs, and
    Communication – Animal behavior involving the transmission of, reception of, and response to signals from other organisms.
    Operant vs. classical conditioning.
    Operant conditioning (trial-and-error) is a type of associative learning in which an animal learns to associate one of its own behaviors with either a reward or a punishment and then repeats or avoids that behavior. While classical conditioning, is also a type of associative learning; where an arbitrary stimulus, like an odor, is associated with a reward or punishment to promote a desired action.
    In the case of Octopus vulgaris, how and why do they use water jets?
    This species uses water jets emitted from their arms to manipulate objects as a play-like, curious behavior.
    What are the implications of play behavior when you compare Octopus vulgaris with Octopus dofleini?
    The Octopus vulgaris species is very active, curious, and agile during their play behavior. In comparison, the Octopus dolfleini species is less active and only interactive with other objects when approached by them.
    Why do Australian redback spiders eat their mates?
    During the mating process of the Australian redback spider, the males insert their palps into the female’s sperm receptacles, and summersault causing their abdomen to dangle in front of the female’s mouth. Consequently the female eats their abdomens and eventually kills them completely.
    What kind of behavior defines this?
    The kind of behavior this event defines is a courtship and innate behavior.
    Do all taxa play?
    All taxa do not necessarily play since a taxa is a group of two or more organisms. The title of a taxa can be applied to any organism, which each have their own behavioral characteristics.
    What are the evolutionary implications of your claim?
    Because of evolution each species may adjust itself to its environment and therefore change any behavioral characteristics such as playing. If it is no longer necessary for the species to play, then it is through evolution that this trait may become extinct over time.

  19. Afzelin benefits may be used to treat a variety of aeruginosa-related diseases. Afzelin promotes cell death to stop breast cancer cells from growing. In a mouse model, it has anti-asthmatic properties. The crude ethyl alcohol extract from Cornusmacrophylla leaves showed antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas.
